I have to admit I'm a little surprised by how many runfessions I could mine from one long run. I probably could have done even more! I'm joining Marcia @ Marcia's Healthy Slice and getting a few runfessions off my chest -- and yes, all the photos are from that 10 mile run. I runfess . . … Continue reading There’a a lot to runfess over 10 miles: Runfessions October 2019

Runner Strong Yoga: Pyramid Pose
Most runners know they should do yoga. Most runners also think that means spending an hour in a yoga studio, but it doesn't have to be that way. Even a few poses practiced regularly could mean the difference between an okay run and a good run. They call it a practice for a reason. I … Continue reading Runner Strong Yoga: Pyramid Pose
Make today your best day: Spilling over tea/coffee October 2019
September brought with it the start of a new (Jewish) year. I'd like to say it started off well, but that wouldn't be the truth, and I believe in sharing -- the good, the bad, the ugly. So no one ever thinks that someone else's life is all unicorns and rainbows. Write it on your … Continue reading Make today your best day: Spilling over tea/coffee October 2019
The one where I skip stuff: Runfessions September 2019
I usually try to refrain from the "ohmygosh it's already _____" statements. But ohmygosh I can't believe September is almost over. Truly, with all the unexpected travel to my parents it went by in the blink of an eye. I'm joining Marcia @ Marcia's Healthy Slice and getting a few other runfessions off my chest. I runfess … Continue reading The one where I skip stuff: Runfessions September 2019
Are you crutching?
Crutching, yes, I totally made up a word: reliance on a crutch. Runners can have many crutches, and it's the rare runner that has no crutch at all. The only real problem with crutches is that we can become too dependent on them. Fairytales and Fitness Reliance on technology Guilty as charged. I'd say I … Continue reading Are you crutching?
No One-Size-Fits All
Google training plans or eating plans and you'll have enough choices to choose from to make your head spin. The problem? You are the only you there ever will be, and who knows who those training plans or diets were created for? Fairytales and Fitness Free training plans found on the Internet might work for … Continue reading No One-Size-Fits All
What if you ran like an elite?
Obviously most of us are not going to be paid to run or earn a lot (or any, most likely) money running and racing. I think we could still all learn a lot from how elites run. If you've ever watched an elite runner, you probably marveled at how effortless they make running fast look. … Continue reading What if you ran like an elite?
Rest needed, stat!: Spilling over tea/coffee September 2019
On Monday we spent the day with my parents. Despite the rain, the dogs were pretty good. Bandit (he appears here a couple of times) seems to particularly enjoy going to my parents -- until it's dinner time. We had a nice visit with my parents and some of their friends. The next day my … Continue reading Rest needed, stat!: Spilling over tea/coffee September 2019
I do it my way: Runfessions August 2019
Not only are we into the unofficial end of summer, for the most part, lately, the weather has been hinting at Fall. Are you ready to let go of Summer and plunge into Fall? I enjoy every season, except Winter. It's just never been my thing. I'm joining Marcia @ Marcia's Healthy Slice and getting a few … Continue reading I do it my way: Runfessions August 2019
Bring Your Yoga on Your Run
I'm not talking about busting out some yoga moves during your run, but if that's your jam, go for it! Personally, I'm usually too focused on wanting to finish to stop and bust out some yoga moves. YTT isn't just about learning yoga posture and how to string them together and cue them; it's about … Continue reading Bring Your Yoga on Your Run
